Preparing for the best: NY Knicks

Marbury Isiah Thomas



I'm not very into other sports so I can't really say that James Dolan is the worst owner in the history of pro sports but he has to be in the conversation. Either Dolan has this weird man - crush with Isiah Thomas that's not letting him see things straight or he has a "there's no way I was wrong with this guy" stand that is burying the knicks deeper that we all think.


Not only they are in crappy salary cap position but their team chemistry is getting sour by each passing game and that's reflecting in their record. Everybody outside the Knicks organization knew for two years now that Thomas needs to go but he always had Dolan's and his players support, now he's missing the last. Allowing Mardbury's AWOL to pass only with a financial slap on the wrist ( I know he took away his starting spot but have you seen Marbury talk about it, he doesn't give a rat ass) producing some "discontent" with the rest of the Knicks players.

Look I've never played professional basketball, I'll never play professional basketball, but one thing I know for sure: If you don't trust your teammate, if you don't even like your teammates, there's no way in hell your are going to function like a team and if you want to win games you need some team cohesion and that applies to pretty much anything you do as a group. Bad chemistry have destroyed great teams and the Knicks are not a great team.

Sometime down the line Isiah will be fired, Marbury will be released or traded, Q, Jamal Crawford and Malik Rose among other will be traded for draft picks and young players with a "clean soul". The Knicks need to rebuild the right way and that way doesn't include Zeke. It is the time
